Good for her. This is the kind of situation where, in order to call out sexism, you need to make yourself a bit vulnerable (if you’ve never had your writing critiqued in this fashion, you’re probably underestimating how it feels.) It takes guts to say, “hey, I know my work isn’t Shakespeare, but it’s not garbage, and…

I had went out to lunch at the mall with my mom, I had to have been in my early 20’s. We stopped in the food court to ear and as usual mom took out her top plate of dentures. She used to say she couldn’t eat with them in, so she would oh so smoothly use a tissue and pop out the teeth.

I heartily endorse big-hipped women wearing bodycon dresses, in that the last time I wore a bodycon dress, literally every comment from my friends was ‘OMG YOUR CURVES’. Aw yeah. Also, I heartily endorse everyone wearing whatever the fuck they want at all times (unless you are wearing a pelt made from the skins of…

Many years ago at the group home for developmentally disabled teens where I worked there was a resident who really, really wanted to go to the best steak house in the city for his 18th birthday. He had behavior and anger issues, but was determined to earn that birthday dinner, and he managed it. So another staff…

I’m legit crying right now. I HATE POACHERS SO MUCH I HATE THEM!

Avid traveler on a budget and, sorry, I’m not down with these tips. Ok, that’s wrong: I agree with the last one, particularly since I just got back from a trip to tourist-laden hell— er, Italy.

That makes me extremely sad for the orcas. The most heartbreaking part of Blackfish for me is their wilting fins. It’s like a physical representation of their spirit being crushed (in my eyes, I can’t prove that).

Sea World needs to release any animals that can be back into the wild. The rest of their animals needs to be given to sanctuaries to live out their lives. And then they need to close their damn doors and cut their losses.

I think a lot of Usans forget just how backwards our country really is. In a lot of ways, we are like a Third World country that just pretends to be First World.

This reminds me of a story my fiance told me about traveling in Italy. One day he was on a fairly busy road that came to a stand-still for hours. He said people opened their trunks and pulled out picnic baskets and wine and enjoyed the sunshine roadside. He’s an east coast kid so this absolutely shocked him. I…

Fuck. You. So. Hard. (says the man who had bland oatmeal for breakfast and is about to drown in drool)

I was born in 1989 just like Taylor (I’M LIKE HER QUEER MIXED RACE TWIN, OMG) but I just want to state that each of her albums took about two years to make, and so the timeline for her age and the songs she wrote goes like this:

No matter what it’ll be a white wedding (because Tay only has white friends).

Now all you need is a name and you can probably still find their old couples blog, the one where they share fun recipes and talk about how much they love each other.

Nothing about the exes as exes bothers me. But my spouse has children from his previous marriage, and adjusting to the face that I therefore have a permanent relationship with an ex was more challenging. The hardest part for me was getting what was for the kids v. for the ex, or done to avoid conflict with the ex.…

Is it wrong that in your example I pictured Owen Wilson as the cowboy on the grey horse?

THIS. So much. I wondered if I was the only person who actually read TKAMB to begin with, because it’s right there in the text.

The show Family Tree did this pretty well in my eyes. The characters visited a reservation and it was very clear that the white, British people were the butt of the joke. It was making fun of the ignorant assholes who believe in these stereotypes, not the native people.

The “misunderstanding” was that Sandler thought he could denigrate aboriginal people and culture for a laugh but aboriginal people thought differently.

Holy shit you white-washed this cast.
